INK CELL [7 records]

Record 1 2017-04-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pulp Preparation (papermaking)
OBS

At the heart of the flotation process is the flotation cell, of which several designs are available. Here, air in the form of small bubbles is blended with the grey stock. The air bubbles become attached to ink and dirt particles, causing them to rise to the surface of the cell where they are removed as a dirt-laden layer of froth. Typically, 6 to 10 flotation cells in series are required for efficient ink removal depending on the level of dirt in the stock.

Key term(s)
  • Voith floatation cell

French

Domaine(s)
  • Préparation de la pâte à papier
OBS

Il se développe malgré tout un intérêt de plus en plus marqué pour les procédés de flottation et on peut s'attendre à ce qu'une plus grande proportion des usines se dotent d'un système de désencrage par flottation dans le futur. Au cœur du procédé, la cellule de flottation est offerte en plusieurs modèles. L'air, sous forme de petites bulles, est mélangé à la suspension («pâte grise»). Les bulles d'air adhèrent aux particules d'encre et aux impuretés, ce qui les fait monter vers la surface où on élimine la couche de mousse chargée d'impuretés par écumage. Il faut en général un ensemble de 6 à 10 cellules en série pour éliminer efficacement l'encre, le nombre de cellules étant fonction de saleté de la pâte.

CONT

Cell angle-Anilox cells are engraved in a linear pattern, and at various angles. Typical anilox cell angles are 30 °, 45 °, and 60 °. It is important to understand that the screen angle of the printing plate and the cell angle of the anilox roll can combine to cause an objectionable moiré pattern, even if only one-color halftones are being printed... While an anilox cell angle may be selected to help avoid moiré, the problem of moiré is usually avoided by angling the separation screens. Research and experience has shown that the 60 ° angle allows for more complete ink transfer, and is becoming the preferred cell angle for flexographic printers.

Record 3 2011-07-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Intaglio Printing
DEF

Small engraved or etched cavity on a printing cylinder, plate or anilox roll, into which ink or fountain solution is filled then transferred to another roller or directly to paper.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Impression en creux (héliogravure)
DEF

Chacune des cavités pratiquées dans le cylindre cuivré imprimant et destinées à recueillir l'encre pour la déposer sur le papier, en héliogravure.

OBS

L'alvéole constitue l'unité la plus petite de la trame quadrillée hélio; de sa profondeur - entre 30 et 70 microns - et de sa surface dépend la quantité d'encre déposée sur le papier, quantité qui module la valeur du noircissement.

OBS

auget : terme d'atelier.

OBS

Le mot cellule est réservé à la structure d'un matériau.

OBS

alvéole : Il est à noter que la forme au masculin est vieillie.

Record 4 2005-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Machines and Equipment
DEF

The wall separating cells.

OBS

The surface of the anilox roller is defined by the cell wall ratio and the separation of the individual cells by the cell wall, in general a high ratio should be the target. The better the demarcation of the cell through the land areas, the more regular is the successful inking of the image particularly of fine printing elements. The cell wall ratio should be as high as possible so that the surface of the printing plate is clean. In order to achieve a constant ink transfer volume, not only must the cell wall ratio be defined but also the characteristics of the cell wall.

Record 5 2004-07-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
DEF

The maximum volume of ink that may be contained in a gravure or anilox cell.

OBS

This theoretical value is calculated according to the depth, area and shape of the cell; it assumes the cell’s top surface to be level with its surrounding land areas. In actual printing practice, the cell is never completely filled or emptied.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Encres et couleurs (Industrie graphique)
DEF

Quantité d'encre pouvant être contenue dans une alvéole.

OBS

Cette valeur est théorique, calculée d'après la forme de l'alvéole. En pratique, l'alvéole n'est jamais complètement remplie d'encre.

opaquer : In animation, the artist who applies opaque colors to the various parts of a cell(after the lines of the drawing have been traced on it). The opaque colors are applied(opaquing) to the opposite side of the transparent cell in order to avoid smearing the ink lines that had been traced earlier.
